Eliminate Attribute Mismatch

(Available with Order Execution Mgt.)

Description

Range Source Eliminate Attribute Mismatch applies a weight to items with an attribute value that does not match the corresponding attribute value of a particular item, specified by that item's region, location, and class.

The applied weight is a value that:

  • You entered in the Set Block Weights function block's corresponding parameter.
  • Set Block Weights assigns to this function block.
Note: A block that applies a zero weight eliminates items that fail from the range source.

Parameters

This function block has the following parameters:

Parameter Description
Always Evaluate Hard, Soft or Breakable. Controls what happens when the extension eliminates all items in the range source.
Hard All items will remain eliminated. Note: When all decisions are eliminated the RCO Output Module, None, is executed to handle this condition.
Soft Roll back any eliminations made by this extension.
Breakable Roll back any eliminations made by this extension that have a danger point value of TRUE (non zero). Routing modules will first use the danger defined for each individual decision. However, one of the following may occur instead.
  • No danger point has been configured for the decision.
 The site-wide danger point will be used.
  • This function block is used in the decision output logic.
 The site-wide danger point will be used.
  • No danger point can be found for a decision.
 The decision remains eliminated.
Attribute Name The name of the attribute to compare.
Attribute Start Byte (Optional) An integer specifying the byte address (offset) of the first byte within the attribute to be included in the value comparison. Leave the Attribute Start Byte and Attribute Length fields unspecified to compare actual attribute values.
Attribute Length (Optional) An integer specifying the number of bytes, beginning with the Attribute Start Character, to include in the value comparison.
Region Name The region to check.
Region Location Select a region location or enter a value greater than one.
Item Class The item class whose attribute is to be checked.
Attribute Point ID (Optional) Text point Stores the name of an attribute. Supercedes Attribute Name.
Region Point ID (Optional) Text point Stores the name of a PRT Region. Supercedes Region Name.
Note: You can compare the value of an attribute, or the value of a specified number of bytes within an attribute.
Option Attribute Start Character  is: Attribute Length is:   Result
1 Specified and Specified The value of the specified bytes, taken as a whole, is compared.
2 Specified and Not specified A one byte value is compared.
3 Not specified and Not specified The binary value of the attribute is compared.
